How much sleep do you typically get each night?
It's recommended that an adult get 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night. Well I can't even remember the last time I slept 7 hours straight.
How much sleep do you get? If you don't sleep enough, why? If you sleep more then 8 hours will you please share your secrets on how you do that?
I generally get about 8 hours of sleep, going to bed at 9:30-10:00 and waking up at 5:45 for school. I usually take about half an hour to fall asleep and I stay in a deep sleep the entire time.
1. Listen to music.
It is really good to listen to calm, relaxing, slow and quiet music while you are sleeping. It helps relax the mind.
2. Meditation.
I dont do this regularly, but there are certain types of meditiation and yoga you can do while sleeping (mostly vocal and concentration exercises that are repetitive and relax your body).
3. Temperature.
I can not sleep in a hot room, especially when after you've taken off all the covers you are still too hot. I sleep with my window open when it is 5 degrees outside. Although that is pretty cold, you can always get more blankets, and it feels much more cozy (plus your not sweating). It is reccomended by sleep doctors that you do this.
Try these, you'll probably get a better sleep.

drink warm milk before u go to bed - it relaxes the brain
exercise during the day but not near night time or else your brain thinks that it is time for you to exercise and may be 'hyped'
listen to soft and calming music soon before you go to bed

Our biological clock tells us how much sleep we need and each body is different. If I don't get seven or eight hours a night, I get somnolent during the day.
My significant other, on the other hand, has very little use or need for more than five or six hours of sleep per night.
If you need more, or less, you body will make arrangements with your mind,and you will have little say over the matter.
Unless you are a stay at home mother with a 10 month old child and a husband to care for. Then you should take naps when the baby does. You have too much responsibility not to be well rested.

I don't get enough sleep during the week because of school work and mainly because I just never ever been able to sleep. Even when I was a baby my mom hardly got me to sleep. I get LOTS of sleep during the weekends because, IT IS THE WEEKEND!!!!!! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! Hope I helped:)

Experience
I am 13 and I get about 7 hours of sleep a night, usually less though on school nights. I always say I want to go to bed at a specific time, but then I get so caught up in doing something around my house that I wind up going to bed about 2 or 3 hours later than I had wanted. then I get up so gosh darn early that I don't get a lot of sleep. Sometimes I wake up a lot during the night, which of course deducts time from how much sleep you get. On the weekends, I get like 8 hours- because I don't have to get up for anything.

Depends on the night. =/

Most of the time, about 6 hours
Not enough for my need, but I have no choice because of my heavy course load.
However, definitely don't think that you have to get 8 hours of sleep every night in order to be "healthy"! In fact, according to this article below, people who sleep between 6.5 and 7.5 hours live the longest.
